Royal Dragon Chinese Takeaway

Royal Dragon is a busy Chinese takeaway serving the Llanedeyrn district of eastern Cardiff from the Maelfa shopping area. It cooks the full Anglo-Chinese repertoire freshly to order — think Salt and Pepper Chicken, sweet-and-sour dishes, chow meins, curries and a decent run of vegetarian options — and has a name locally for getting orders out hot and on time. Friendly counter staff and quick, polite delivery come up again and again in customer feedback.

The kitchen holds a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 (Very Good), awarded by the council in mid-2024, and it draws consistently warm reviews across the listing sites, with dozens of diners calling it the best Chinese in the area. Whether you're feeding a family or just want a single quick box, the portions are generous and the menu is wide enough to keep everyone happy. It's the kind of dependable neighbourhood spot that the surrounding Llanedeyrn and Pentwyn streets keep coming back to.
